“When Princess Gilda and Prince Selwyn refuse the offer of a gift forbidden by King Emmanuel, Prince Josiah accepts, not realizing that his actions will impact the Castle of Faith. For a time, the young prince is able to conceal his act of treachery, and it seems that all is well. But when a Cararian Greatwing—the fiercest of dragons—begins terrorizing the kingdom, Josiah learns too late that he is powerless to control the beast that he has unleashed upon Terrestria. This fifth adventure in the Terrestria Chronicles allegory series will challenge the reader to guard his or her heart for the King.” ~from talesofcastles.com

My Review:

This was an excellent book! The allegory was so accurate and it really was very challenging to guard my heart and to stay loyal to my King.

I am not accustomed to reading fantasy books, but this one was very good. I think the main reason why I don’t usually read fantasy is because of the magic; Christians should be very careful about that. I think in this book it was handled well, although I shall have to think more on this topic.

Anyway, this book was very good and I am glad that I read it! It held my attention very well, and although I did not agree with the decisions the MC made, I was rooting for him to make better ones. This was a great example of how continually making wrong choices is a bad idea!
